Extensions and conversions
Introduction
The hard disks extension box enables up to three additional HDD modules to be
integrated. Each HDD module can accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with
an SCA (Single Connector Attachment) interface and a height of at most 1 inch.
The connection to the SCSI backplane is made without cables via the SCA
interface. This makes it simple to plug in or pull out the HDD modules. If the
server has a RAID controller and the corresponding RAID configuration,
defective HDD modules can also be replaced while the system is operating.
Additional controllers in the PCI slots
The system board offers seven PCI slots:
–
2 x PCI-X 1.1 (64 Bit / 66 MHz / 100 MHz, 3.3 V, length: 2 x 340 mm)
–
3 x PCI (32 Bit / 33 MHz, 5 V, length: 1 x 340 mm, 2 x 245 mm)
–
1 x PCI-Express x1 (0.5 GB/s, length: 167 mm)
–
1 x PCI-Express x4 (2.0 GB/s, length: 167 mm)
The PCI slot 2 (blue) is prepared for Zero Channel RAID (ZCR).
RemoteView Service Board S2 LP
The RemoteView Service Board S2 LP (RSB S2 LP) is a PCI board with a
completely independent system, i.e. it has its own operating system with Web
server and SNMP agents and can optionally be equipped with an external
power supply. The RSB S2 LP permits remote diagnosis for system analysis,
remote system configuration and remote restart even in the event of operating
system failure or hardware faults. It has its own LAN connection and its own
COM port. All the functions of the RSB S2 LP are thus available either via a LAN
or modem.
External SCSI interface
If the internal hard disks are connected via a PCI RAID controller, one channel
of the on-board controller can also be made available for connecting a
peripheral cabinet SX10 via an external SCSI interface.
